Most mask rules and all QR-code check in requirements will be scrapped in South Australia from midnight, but the state's biggest venue has gone one step further by allowing patrons not vaccinated against COVID-19 to return.

Adelaide Oval management has confirmed that from today,  unvaccinated people can return.

"Patrons will also no longer be required to show proof of vaccination. This change has been made on the basis of South Australia’s high vaccination rate, continued easing of restrictions and the return to 100 per cent stadium capacity," the statement released on Twitter said. 

All Adelaide Oval staff will need to be double vaccinated to work at the venue, with management encouraging people to wear masks if they want to.

The oval returned to full capacity earlier this before the start of the men's AFL season.

Crows have not yet filled the iconic stadium to capacity, with South Australia continuing to manage its Omicron outbreak.
